Angelina Jolie: I Frightened Kids on the 'Maleficent' Set!

Angelina Jolie looks positively glowing while making an appearance on stage during the Maleficent presentation at the 2013 Disney D23 Expo on Saturday morning (August 10) at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

The 38-year-old actress told a story about how her costume scared all the children visiting the set except her own daughter Vivienne, who has a small part in the film as Young Aurora.

“The strange thing was people with little kids would visit the set and I would think, ‘I’m a Disney character!’” Angelina said (via EW). “I’d go over to the children and say hi. And they would scream and run off. One little boy actually said Mommy, ‘Please, tell the mean witch to please stop talking to me.’”

“She was the only 4-year-old who wouldn’t scream,” Angie added of Vivi.

FYI: Angelina is wearing a Versace top with Saint Laurent pants and shoes.

I Love Angelina, she is so cool!
Can’t wait for the movie, it seems awesome!

She looks great..

I want to see this movie today. Such excitement. and the early reactions so far just from the tiny look is so positive. Wonder if she brought the children and Brad. I bet they would have the best time with all that Disney stuff all around.

Can’t wait for maleficent

“Listen well, all of you,” she says, in a voice eerily reminiscent of Eleanor Audley, who voiced the animated character.“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty. But before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel — and fall into a sleeplike death … woken only by true love’s kiss.”
….
Oh my….

Maya

LOVE this woman – stunningly gorgeous and immensely talented as well.

It is not fair that we have to wait another year for this movie to release:(

I predict this movie will pass the $750M worldwide….

ladys

Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain, and I know La Jolie will do her justice. Can’t wait to see this! :)

Thanks Jared and Company for being so quick on this.. I had no idea that there were pics.. I’m impressed.

cute

I wish we could go see this right now…Angie looks adorable! Her story about Vivi reminds me of how Shiloh got her role in CCOBB- all the other child/baby actors were crying and Brad said Shiloh will do it- and the rest is history.

Jolie’s appearance came after Walt Disney live action production head Sean Bailey spoke about casting Jolie for Maleficent. “You can pencil out a list of all the amazing actresses in the world and for us this list only had one name for the role, Angelina Jolie,”

Trolls are going to go bat shite cray cray tonight after seen the most beautiful Angelina Jolie. I believe Brad may be with her, not sure.

Ⱦamsin

Is the TOWN PUMP still in character? Jesus, just look at her veiny arms, gigantic hands and her plastic face. Somebody tell her to take off the make up and prosthetics.

The old Ho is desperate for a hit, she hasn’t had one since Salt, just like the Drug addict didn’t have one since Benjamin’s Buttocks. Bankable much? LOL.

True A listers continue to get job offers and don’t stay unemployed for three years. There’s a difference between that becoming A lister by association or name recognition, which is what the likes of the Kardashians and the Heroina and her stolen man have in common.

that last part of the quote goes to show it was her role and no one elses.

“You can pencil out a list of all the amazing actresses in the world and for us this list only had one name for the role, Angelina Jolie,”

‘MALEFICENT’ REVEALS FIRST FOOTAGE AT D23 EXPO, ANGELINA JOLIE TALKS WITCHY ROLE
by Nick Romano August 10, 2013 3:20 PM
.
During the D23 Expo’s second day of movie presentations, Walt Disney Studios presidnet Sean Bailey came out to the D23 Expo stage to present the upcoming live-action offerings, including the first footage of Angelina Jolie as the evil witch in ‘Maleficent.’
.
It’s the untold story of the evil witch in ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ said Bailey. Robert Stromberg is directing and the film is produced by Joe Roth with Linda Woolverton writing the script. “We knew we had quite a task [in casting Maleficent],” he continued, before revealing the official still of her (shown above). We will finally reveal the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart and led her to curse Sleeping Beauty.
.
We first see Maleficent as a teenage fairy, tending to nature, as well as an evil king lurking in the background of the story. Maleficent endures a betrayal by the king and it’s this still mysterious act that transformed her into the wicked witch we all know her as today.
.
After the curse, we’ll also see the witch becoming intrigued by Elle Fanning’s Aurora, as well as the epic battle with the dragon, during which time Bailey says we might find ourselves rooting for the other side.
.
Then came the big surprise! “We have Maleficent herself,” said Bailey, before revealing Angelina Jolie to the audience. “Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite,” she said. “I was so terrified of her, but I was so drawn to her … she had this elegance and this grace, and yet she was so cruel — so wonderfully, deliciously cruel.”
.
Her brother was the first to inform of her the role and was the one who encouraged her to go for it. Then Disney gave her a call and the rest is history.
.
“['Maleficent'] has the elements of the world and all of the design are so much a part of the actual film,” said Jolie. “You have these beautiful fairy tale elements, and yet it has to be from the point of view of the villain … We had to push it as far as we could while staying true to the story.”
.
The strange thing was the little kids who would visit the Disney set, and Jolie, thinking herself to be a Disney character, went up to them, not expecting them to scream at her in fear. One child even said, “Mommy please tell this evil witch to stop talking to me.”
.
Her daughter, Vivian, however, was the one child who wouldn’t scream. She, in fact, has a small role in the film, playing young Aurora.
.
The D23 Expo finished the presentation with a screening of the first ‘Maleficent’ trailer. To give you some idea of what was shown, it imagines the famous Christening scene of baby Aurora. The three fairies (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather) fly to the castle, ready to bestow their gifts on the child. As soon as the green fairy, Fauna, is about to present hers, the candles are snuffed out and a dark whirlwind heralds the evil witch herself. “Well, well,” says Jolie, accompanied by a villainous, whispered cackle. Scenes flash forward as we see Aurora growing up into her teenage self, while Maleficent, engulfed in a green flame, casts the famed curse we can all probably recite from memory.
.
“It’s something different than everything I’ve ever experienced,” said Jolie.

Does she own anything other than black? People wear black to appear thinner. How much thinner does she want to look? Shes just a pound shy of anorexia. It’s boring ….
The same outfit always. Same with Brad. So much money but such bad taste in clothing.

awwww

Angie is glowingly beautiful. The engagement ring is dazzling on her finger. Swoon

Love the JoliePitts

Bringing my post over for Phool and Rose and the JP fans.
.

@.Phool:
.
Good afternoon to ALL the wonderful JoliePitt Fans.
.
Just saw two of my favorite ladies having a wonderful conversation on line and I HAD to stop by and say “Hello.”
.
Hi Phool, Hi My Lady Rose.
.
Phool, of course I could not help but crack up at what you were sharing w/Rose. You ladies keep me in stitches… :) I will post your comment below.
.
But I wanted to share with you both that I HAD to buy the latest OK rag ONLY because of the pictures inside of our beautiful Brad and Angelina AND because they are talking about Brad and Angelina wanting a second set of TWINS…..and I AGREE with them on that point.
.
I am soo hoping Brad and Angelina will have at least one more bio baby, maybe even two more, because Brad said he wants one more and because they make such gorgeous children together.
.
And yes! It was wonderful seeing our beautiful couple out the other night having a lovely “date night” looking like “Twins” in their matching outfits and hairstyles and both with beautiful smiles on their very pretty faces.
.
Phool, you are so right. That bag Angelina was carrying looks like it can hold all kinds of pretty lingerie, etc., for a wonderful sexy night for momma and poppa and we know how Brad loves his “Sexy” momma saying she is as “Sexy as ever” in one of his last interviews.
.
I Love how they have been able to avoid the paps and are having time to do what they want and enjoy doing without the paps snapping their pictures left and right. Those two are so very smart when it comes to outwitting the nosy paps. And it is notable that both of them have avoided “interviews” about their movies or Angelina’s double mastectomy and have kept their business pretty much to themselves. They are amazing and one cannot help but admire how in the midst of the Hollywood circus, they stay pretty much to themselves. God bless our beautiful family.
.
Sorry for the long post…but below is what you had me laughing about.
Have a wonderful day ladies…I am off to take care of business. Talk with you again real soon… and by the way….It was very nice to see TISH’s comment online one day and “Hi” to my very Lovely FALP.
.
Blessings go with you all.
.
“Angie has a brimming smile and Brad is smiling as well they don’t have to latch on to each other like wet lettuce like (Ticky ) does they are independent strong individuals who can walk together without being a hanger on for moral support.
Yes I agree with you that Saint Laurent bag is a big bag, which can easily store some “Sexy Silk night wear” oh
hang on Rose let me close the window hearing screaming from the Ocean,oh no its another screaming its Squiggy he’s got his present from Ticky yes you know the ” Old Videos tapes of Girls Gone Wild” you know the ones Ticky gifted Brad on his Birthday, after all she is one classy girl, Oh yeah where was I? you know the he LEFT BEHIND along with the voicemails on the phone that she listens to every day.
Yes mommy & Daddy had an eventful day and an even “Dirtier Night” by the looks of things lol.”

I love how they seem to be keeping the Dark element of the movie. That is what I loved about Sleeping Beauty. As a kid I loved to be scared..

Angie looks amazing . So beautiful. She could wear anything and that beauty is just there. Everyone that sees her is in awe.. Always the same. She is stunning.

Her anorexia is as obvious as her nose jobs. And she is a mental patient after all. What kind of examples is she setting for her children? Cosmetic procedures, boob jobs, drugs, PR stunts, eating disorders. I feel sorry for them.

After her stint in a mental institution, Heroina claims that she didn’t need therapy because becoming a mother solved her life problems, it’s dangerous when people go about their lives with an untreated mental condition, especially when they have children.

The hags are upset.

Good..

Love the JoliePitts

Angelina you look magnificent!!

Thank you Jared for the new pictures of our beautiful Mrs. JoliePitt

D23: Disney Brings Out Angelina Jolie for ‘Maleficent,’ Screens New Footage
11:43 AM PDT 8/10/2013 by Rebecca Ford
.
ANAHEIM — At D23 on Saturday, Chairman of Walt Disney Studios Alan Horn charmed the crowd with folksy stories about his connection to Disney and how its been a part of his life. The two-hour presentation featured new clips, celebrity appearances and updates on all of Disney’s properties including Lucasfilm and Marvel.
.
However, much of the footage shown during the first half of the presentation was the same content that had appeared at Comic-Con less than a month ago. And the crowd was audibly disappointed when Horn started off his presentation with Lucasfilm, but didn’t share any fresh news about Star Wars.
“I wish I could tell you more, but it will come soon,” he told the crowd when they booed.

However, there were some completely new items shows, including footage from Marvel’s Captain America and Thor sequel.s and a new trailer for Disney’s Muppets sequel. Additionally, a few surprise guests, including Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie, got the crowd on its feet.
.
Maleficent was introduced next. It’ll star Angelina Jolie as the infamous villain. Joiie shocked the crowd when she took the stage.
.
“Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite. I was terrified of her, but I was always drawn to her,” she told the crowd. She revealed that he brother called her when he found out they were making the movie, and pushed her to go after the part.
.
The actress seems genuinely excited for the film, and charms the crowd with stories about frightening children on set.
.
“It feels very special to be a part of this family,” she tells the crowd.
.
The crowd was also shown brand new footage from the upcoming film. It showed Jolie’s haunting Maleficent casting the spell on Sleeping Beauty.

Love the JoliePitts

Hi Sunny,
.
I have been wanting to thank you for the information you brought over about more theatres being added in Japan to show ITLOBAH and also for the lovely comments so many of the people at the premiere made about Brad and Angelina.
.
Both Brad and Angelina are so gracious when they approach their fans here and abroad it is no wonder the fans flock to them and love them.
.
And how sweet it was of Brad to request the lady to interpret for him and how gracious she was to do it, and for so many years, and to make such lovely comments about him and Angelina.
.
Thank you for bringing us such an enlightening look at Japan and its culture. Your comments are always so very much appreciated.

Worldwide? If the full movie is as good as snippets they’ve shown, then it should easily do $1BIL. DOmestically? I’m thinking $300-$350MIL. If this comes to pass, then Ticky’s next movie will be a full-out p 0 r n o…”Ticky Does Movie Financiers”

3rd UPDATE, 11:55 PM: Angelina Jolie surprised the crowd at D23 today by turning up at live action panel. “Since I was a little girl, I was drawn to her. But I was also terrified by her, but she had this elegance and grace,” said Jolie about playing Maleficent in the upcoming backstory to the Sleeping Beauty character. “When I heard Disney was making the film, my brother encouraged me to take the role.” Jolie’s appearance came after Walt Disney live action production head Sean Bailey spoke about casting Jolie for Maleficent. “You can pencil out a list of all the amazing actresses in the world and for us this list only had one name for the role, Angelina Jolie,” exclaimed Bailey over as sketches from the film played on the big screen. “We’ll see the events that drove her to be evil. The film will intersect with scenes from the classic animated film. We initially meet Maleficent as a teenage fairy and how she’s betrayed,” he added of the Joe Roth production, directed by Robert Stromberg. After Jolie left the stage, Bailey showed the audience exclusive footage from Maleficent. In the clip, Jolie’s British-accented wicked Queen enters amidst CGI human faced fairies and green steam rising to curse the baby Sleeping Beauty. “Without a doubt, Maleficent will be a powerful movie experience when it comes to theaters next summer,” Bailey told the crowd.

JPS

They showed Viv in the clips. I am so excited. Maleficent is going to make so much money. 2014 is the Year of Jolie

Five-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt pretty much stumbled into a plum role in Disney’s upcoming live action film “Maleficent.”

And while her mom Angelina Jolie, who stars in the film, had a lot to do with it, sheer nepotism wasn’t the reason. The real reason: Jolie scared all the little kids on set.

Jolie appeared before a shocked crowd at Disney’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, on Saturday to introduce new footage from the film, and was greeted by a standing ovation. And onstage, Jolie revealed why daughter Vivienne was cast: because she was the only kid on the film set who wasn’t frightened of Jolie while in full costume as the evil Maleficent — horns and all.

“The strange thing was people with little kids would visit the set and I would think, ‘I’m a Disney character!’” Jolie told the crowd filled with Disney fans. “I’d go over to the children and say hi, and they would scream and run off,” the 38-year-old actress said. “One little boy actually said, ‘Mommy, Please, tell the mean witch to please stop talking to me.’”

In the film Vivienne plays the young Aurora (with the older version played by Elle Fanning). And yeah, she was cast because, as Jolie put it, “She was the only 4-year-old who wouldn’t scream.”

“Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite. I was terrified of her, but I was always drawn to her,” Jolie told the crowd, adding that it was her brother (James Haven, who was her date to the 2000 Oscars) who first urged her to take the role. “She had this elegance and this grace, and yet she was so cruel — just wonderfully and deliciously cruel.”

The film is an origins story, and Disney’s presentation illuminated just what sets it apart from the more traditional tale of “Sleeping Beauty” we all know. “We initially meet Maleficent as a teenage fairy and how she’s betrayed,” said Disney’s live action head executive Sean Bailey.

The footage seen at D23 on Saturday was of Maleficent casting a spell on Aurora.

INSIDE MOVIES
by Anthony Breznican
-
excerpt…………….. The film, directed by Oscar-winning production designer Robert Stromberg, is a shift on the Disney animated version from 1959. Jolie said he brought a particularly acute sense of detail to the fairy tale world. “But It has to be from the point of view of the villain, so as beautiful as it was it also needed the edge, and to be a little sexy and little darker.”
Studio production chief Sean Bailey said it will include many allusions to that earlier film, however. “We’ll see the epic battle with of the dragon, but this time, just maybe, we may find ourselves rooting for the other side,” he says.
-
…………………………….. The footage previewed at D23 corresponded closely to the animated classic.
It begins with good fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, flitting through the castle on their way to bestow gifts on the newborn Princess Aurora while a sinister looking king played by Sharlto Copely (District 9) glowers on.
While they bless her with spells wishing for a happy life, a dark wind blows through the castle, swaying iron chandeliers and sending the inhabitants cowering. A shadow rises, with two familiar curled horns.
Jolie’s black-clad Maleficent, who had a much earlier, uglier encounter with the king, has arrived before the court.
“Well, well …” she says, and smiles. “I must say I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.”
“You’re not welcome here,” the king snarls.
Maleficent sighs, looking back at the frightened court denizens. “What an awkward situation!” she says, as her crow lands on the baby’s bassinet.
“Listen well, all of you,” she says, in a voice eerily reminiscent of Eleanor Audley, who voiced the animated character. “The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty. But before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel — and fall into a sleeplike death … woken only by true love’s kiss.”
She cackles as the footage fades to the title: MALEFICENT.
The film opens July 2, 2014.

So the leaked description of the trailer the other day was not legit.
I think this trailer will hit this fall.

I LOVE how Angelina just “tells it as it is” about her experiences on the set. She is one unique, beautiful lady.
.
I am thrilled she was able to make this movie because she had been wanting to do it for so long for Shiloh and now it is a done deal.
.
And the people just LOVE her.
.
God bless you always beautiful Angelina with the great, big, beautiful, Loving Heart for so many. No wonder Brad is enthralled by you.
.
May you and Brad always share your amazingly beautiful love with each other and with your children thru many, many, many lifetimes filled with joy, laughter and love.
